Pike is my guess. I brought in largemouth on a local pond around 15 inches and behind it was a very big pike checking out the struggling fish. It didn't hit it but I wouldn't have been too surprised if it did. Maybe it even hit it as you were bringing it in. Feel anything like that?

yes matching set of bite marks.. nope wasn't hit on the way in... My guess is, that the "attacker" was laying along the edge of the drop in the weed line as the water went from 6' to 20 in a 10' span.. a very steep drop that has yielded many a brown trout and a host of other fish...
